Pain on left side right below rib, going around to back

Posted , 5 users are following.

I have had chronic diarrhea going on 3 months now. I have been having a sharp pain on my left side right where my rib ends and it radiates around to my back. I have recently started vomiting and feeling drained lately. No blood in stool or vomit. Ive also been getting really bad headaches. I had blood work done a month ago. My blood platelets were high. I asked my doctor why they were high and she just said it was probably because I smoke. My kidney and liver panel were normal. I haven't been under stress and Ive tried to watch what foods I eat. But I still have this pain. It does seem to hurt more when I first wake up and after I eat. I have told my doctor about the pain and diarrhea but she just seems to blow me off. Any advice on this would be appreciated. I feel like going to the hospital but I hate going there unless I absolutely have to.
